MCPoker joins CDC!

International Poker organisation, MCPoker.de have joined Crossfire today to spice up the Crossfire Devotii Challenge 3 with a whopping 500 Euro prize purse for the onsite poker tournament! MCPoker will become Crossfires official poker partner and look to boost pokers influence within gaming as a whole.

Quote by Christian ScheuererWe are very pleased to work with the Crossfire community as it has shown a strong development since its foundation and is moreover very active. McPoker went online 2 weeks ago with its new software and takes care of the needs and wishes of gamers. With a lot of new features and special created tournaments made for the Crossfire community McPoker is strongly trying to connect gaming with poker

Says Christian Scheuerer Vice Director team9 Ltd.

Quote by Stuart SawFor me it is a great honour to partner with a massive organisation who have gaming at its very heart. We're now joined not only with a company who will support us, but a company who used to play RTCW! (Christian used to play in team.de and majesty) What more could I want for Crossfire? Its another great step forward for the Challenge series

Says Stuart "TosspoT" Saw, owner of Crossfire.nu

The MCPoker Tournament at CDC3 will take place at 8pm on Saturday night, before and during (you can play/watch both) the winner bracket final of the ET tournament! Rules and format to follow in the coming days. Payment will be completed using the MCPoker.de software online, so click the banner and join today!

GL!
every pokersite is being run from some shady island (j/k)
Parent
i love that word shady :>
Parent
any buy-in money?
will there also be a poker tournament with the second part of cdc3 ??
boring...
gz @ quoting yourself
Silly not saying buyin, only prizepot. Guess it will be TexasH NL?
hahahahha great
kholic will win
If I understand correctly Tosspot; there is a tournament on saturday night at 20:00. You can only play if you got an account on the MCPoker site with money on it, if I understood it correctly. How much will it be, so I can start the deposit right away !! 8D
ooh look 500 euros for me again, bigger than the last pot:D
Isnt it illegal to host a poker tournament without the proper licences?
did you said illegal ?

Parent
Holland Casino is the only one allowed to host tournaments?
Parent
It's not considered as gambling, that's why they give licenses to private companies.
It's like that in austria and I guess it's the samew within the EU.
Parent
yea, it's illegal to host commercial poker tournaments. Only one allowed to do that is holland casino.
Parent
Yes, I think
Parent
Yes normally it is forbidden in Holland, but normally these small time events stay under the radar. On top of that, this is not a Dutch company.

At this time, the way we are doing it, there should be no problem. The FIOD could be asses if they want to, which they barely are for such a fun/small tournament, but even that should be np.

And if it comes to that, we will state that MCpoker just covers the winning player his travel expenses and stay during that weekend. Covering expenses is another loop hole.
Parent
FUCK ME, 500 EUROS, SOMEONE WILL BE ROLLING IN IT!!!
:D:D exactly what i thought
I lose more than that on a bad night at party poker :D:D
Parent
I think the "objective" of this tournament isnt the prizemoney but to be able to have fun playing vs fellow et players/wsw'ers.
Parent
agree, i think its just the way stu phrased it that made me smile :)
Parent
rofl its not 500 for one person 8D. And maybe the prize money will be bigger when the buy in is more. So they can take a part of the buyin money and the 500$ guarenteed and put it together!!XD
Parent
finally someone who knows how tournaments work in poker :>

As i see it Mcpoker gurantee 500€ therefore are not actually putting up the money them selves, say its 10€ entry and 50people sign up mcpoker wont be contributing anything but if theres less then 50 they will make the money up.

This is how i interpreted it but maybe wrong.

Top 7 maybe payoff?
Parent
depends on the amount of people, but yes if there are 60/70 people, the first 6/7 will get a price ye!

And maybe, if the buy in is 10$, MCPoker will take 1 or 2$ from it for the organisation. Don't really know how it will work out.

And ye, played a lot of tournaments, so I know how it works 8D. Are you also coming/playing?
Parent
Nah never really planned to go, just play online poker.

Currently just swapping poker sites in order to win free gifts. Currently in the process of getting myself some nevada jacks chip set once i get 250FFP on pokerstars, not bad as the set is worth quite alot. (http://www.nevadajacks.net)
Parent
nice nice

got 1880 partypoints myself(partypoker), but dont really know what to do with it.

cu 8D
Parent
free gifts

bit late for you but thats the site if you are interested, aye points are crap as they are pointless. unfortunately your not on pokerstars and ccannot trade for gifts.
Parent
I got a pokerstars account, only play tournaments there though 8D
Parent
Yes thats how it work. If the buyin would be 2 Euro and the layout of the tournaments says "200Euro guaranteed" u can be sure to have a prize pool of at least 200Euro. If less than 100 people would sign up the poker software will provide the rest.
If more than 100 people would sign up the prize pool will then of course increase to the amount of signups - e.c. 240 registration would make it 480 Euro
Parent
Hows that nC bot?
Parent
Congratulations.
Parent
Don't have children.
Parent
what kind of rap is this mc doing?
gangstah rap.
freaky shit!
Parent
rofl! hi cris
what kind of hamburger is that?
very nice! But can you give me ffs some tutorial to this poker? I know only easy poker not texas bla bla or what :))
texas hold em is easy tbh
Parent
That or we just did our homework :)
Not completely tho. Or else they would know that the German jurisdiction about "terms and conditions"/"software licenses" is: if a foreign company is trying to attract German customers (and they obviously do so by having a German website), the software license needs to be in German. Else it's of no relevance in a (German) court. [happened with Vivendi/Valve]
Parent
i´d say the invite goes out to europe... germans arent allowed to smoke pott there too - so who cares bout 10 yerman pokerers :)
Parent
I'm not talking about this particular competition.
[It seems like the only ones that did their homework are pokerstars.]
Parent
No completely, we did our homework
Parent
Yes, you did. Was just pointing out that McPoker.de (and other, bigger poker sites) didn't in regard of a German court ruling. ;)
Parent
Some informations:
Its not allowed to host poker tournaments with cash prizes in any country in the EU BUT its allowed to play tournaments in chips without money beeing traded. Which basically means we will run the tournament at CDC which will be a Freeroll tournament. This means no participant has to pay an entry fee to that tournament but McPoker will provide a prize pool of 500 Euro being payed online to the winners.
The winners will have to register on McPoker software to purchase their prizes and can play with real money.

After the CPC we will set up some special tournaments just for the crossfire community with a very small buyin so u can "outplay" your best friend not only on the battlefield but also on the poker table :)

Greetings
was quite excited before reading this comment ;k

oh well, I guess its nice + some illegal 8 man tables going on for the weekend!

offreply: why does it clash with the matches?
Parent
It doesn't. All the matches are over by 20 CET, except for the Winner Bracket Finals (i think), so ppl can also just sit down and watch that game.

It is all part of a relaxing night, where ppl can do whatever they want to hang out with fellow players.
Parent
lol nice idea :D
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Parent
Oh man fuck I got an unbeatable strategy.
chinese victory(tie)?
Parent
great idea, nice job toss, maybe that is he reason to come :)

edit: need infos bout costs, blind-levels, participators etc - thx!
and plz there is nothing beside Texas Hold´em!!!
lets play solitaire nP
im high stakes only..
